At the beach, Jerry is being chased by Tom as he rescues a dolphin from some greedy fishermen.

From their award-winning achievements to their strange feature film, here's the story of the original cutthroat cat-and-mouse cartoon pair. Tom and Jerry Series posted a video to playlist Tom and Jerry Kids (1990-1993). And today, we're taking a look at some little-known details about their long, wild history.

And the two characters have lived on in TV reruns and numerous revivals and re-creations, from brand new cartoon series to feature films. Head-to-head animated combat, pop culture duos, and delightful mayhem just wouldn't be the same had Tom and Jerry not laid out the template 80 years ago. Also, Jerry was much smarter than Tom and tended to always foil the cat's plots and inflict just as much violence in return (or more). Why? Well, Tom was a cat, and Jerry was a mouse. From the early 1940s to the late 1950s - the quintessential era of lushly animated, beautifully scored short cartoons that screened in movie theaters before a film - a grey cat named Tom and a brown mouse named Jerry fought each other to the near-death dozens of times. There aren't many cartoon series that are older or more enduring than Tom and Jerry.
